Lofou K.E. Microbrewery / BES Beers

Lofou is one of those blond-stone villages clinging to the wine hills above Limassol, between commandaria vineyards and flowering lanes. There its microbrewery signs, under the BES brand — named after the jovial Egyptian protector god familiar to the ancient island —, beers that speak the local dialect: its pomegranate sours, made with Cyprus's emblematic fruit, have become its calling card, alongside small-batch artisan ales. A confidential production, to be tracked down in the village tavernas and the coast's craft shops — the ideal reward after a stroll through one of the loveliest villages of the Limassol hinterland.
